Chapter 127
Tori’s shares in the family company were a hair’s breadth less than his daughter’s. But since blood ties ran deep, the two were practically one entity to the outside world.
If Jesse and Tori ever fell out or her shares fell into the hands of another, Tori’s stronghold as CEO could crumble like a house of cards.

Jesse locked eyes with Damita. “Damita, the incident that happened nine years ago… you were behind it, weren’t
